Maybe a psychic pokemon to counter the fighting weakness? Their only weakness is bug, ghost, and dark. But you have fire to cover bug, tyranitar's dark moves for ghost and lucario for dark

Thanks. I was thinking an Espeon. You can get an Eevee early in the game apparently.
I just got a Cubone in Dream World and he's one of my favourite Pokemon! I might go with Espeon over him though.
I found a Shinx as well and like I said I havn't played since Crystal so Shinx is new to me. I may have a play around with that as well, it looks and sounds cool.

You have so many repeating types. You've got 2 Psychic-types, 2 Bug-types, 2 Fighting-types, and 3 Steel-types. That said, your Genesect and Lucario will clean house by themselves, no need for the rest of your teammates to assist. :3

Edit: You've also got two semi-ubers and one full-on uber. You should be fine.

I'm preparing to cross the Skyarrow Bridge. Here's what my team consists of so far (counting reserves):

I'm trying to think of a good pokémon (preferably Gen I) to balance out the dynamics. Here are the final two I was planning on deciding between:

Charmeleon (Via egg trade)

Jynx (Caught via Smoochum on Dream Radar)

Aerodactyl (Caught via Old Amber from Twist Mountain)

Right now, I think Jynx or Charmeleon would be the best bet since the only special attackers I have are Dewott & Corsola, plus I already have 2 flying types, but I'm just not too sure. Any suggestions on which of these 3 to get?

How are you guys getting so many Pokemon on your team that isn't In the game or at the stage of the game you're at. Seems unfair lol.

Through the wonder that is trading. It's hardly "unfair", there's nothing stopping you doing the same.

Current team; just reached Mistralton:

♂Sven [36] Docile
{Razor Shell, Return, Megahorn, Aqua Jet}Reliable starter! His moveset isn't fantastic but he gets by with Razor Shell and Return. I'll probably turn him into a more mixed sweeper when Harper learns Waterfall and Night Slash, just to differentiate the two a bit.

♀Harper [36] Naughty
{Surf, Return, Dragon Dance, Dig}Eagerly awaiting a Physical STAB move, since she's really beginning to lag, even with Adaptability Surf. She gets Night Slash at 39, so hopefully that should tie her over until Crabhammer/Waterfall. Return and Dig are really only there for the times where she's used DD a few times.

♀Adrianna [36] Modest
{Dark Pulse, Fly, Nasty Plot, Heat Wave}Her defenses and eviolite tend to let her get a few Nasty Plot's under her belt, so she's surprisingly potent despite her abysmal offensive stats. Dark Pulse is there for reliable STAB whereas Heat Wave covers Steel-types. Fly's currently there for utility, but I'll replace it with Air Slash when she learns it.

♂Felix [36] Adamant
{Earthquake, Thrash, Dark Pulse, Rock Slide}Really slow and an annoying amount of weaknesses, but his EQ is powerful enough and covers this team's vulnerability against Electric-types. Dark Pulse and Thrash is filler really until he learns Crunch and I receive the Hone Claws/Rock Polish TMs.

♀Io [36] Rash
{Sunny Day, Weather Ball, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam}Newest addition and the makeshift Fire-type of the team. Weather Ball is actually insanely powerful with the weather boost, STAB and Sunny Day factored in (essentially 225BP, if I'm calculating it correctly.) Thunderbolt and Ice Beam were taught in Black version and give her insane coverage. Definitely pulls her weight despite the craptacular stats.

Oh, I forgot to mention. I taught my Black2 Flygon and White2 Dragonite Fly, since I've come to understand that having Fly on your team is indeed more convenient, just like having Surf on your team is. Sadly, my White2 Garchomp could not learn Fly like I thought he could, I'm disappointed.

I also taught my Black2 Arcanine Extremespeed over Close Combat. Kinda cheapens my extensive efforts to catch a female Growlithe for breeding, but oh well. My Azumarill knows Superpower and my Lucario knows Aura Sphere, so there was no need for a 3rd Fighting move on my team.

I'm fully aware that I have a lot of steel-types on my team, though of them only Ferrothorn and Magnezone know any steel-type moves. I'm looking to add an ice type. Was hoping for Cryogonal, but Twist Mountain was no-go and I'm coming from the other direction. I'm looking at Vanillish/Vanilluxe, maybe Dewgong if I can get near the Giant Chasm. Thoughts?

@^: The only thing that weirds me out about your team is that it lacks a Water-type. Almost everybody keeps a Water-type on their team. There's nothing wrong with it, your team is your choice. It's just that, considering how many Water-types there are--Water is the most populated type in all of Pokémon--that you wouldn't run across a single usable or appealing Water-type at some point in your playthru of the game. You don't even have any Water-type moves on any of your teammates. That is a rare feat, and you are a one-of-a-kind trainer. I think I should salute you, but I'm not certain.... :/

Hm.. the lack of a Water type.. never thought about that, really. I have gone through most of the game without too much problems with that team, so, maybe that was why. But, i sincerely thank you for saying that.

Believe in you and in what you are capable of. Then, you will be able to do anything.

@Cyberra: Cubchoo is probably the best one, tbh. It learns Surf, which is a feat most pure or non-part-Water Ice-types can't boast about. It also gets good stats and has a much wider movepool than most typical Ice-types do.

@Katsuragi: Well, if not having any Water-type Pokémon or moves hasn't hurt you, then I don't see any problem with your team member or move set choices. Like I said, it's your game and your choice, nobody can tell you what you can or can't do with your Pokémon. It's just, the chances of getting the team you ended up with--not a trace of Water anywhere--are mind-boggling! o.o

@Paladin: I got Cubchoo out of my PC and hard-trained it with the Exp Share and the Lucky Egg. Frostbite the Beartic was lvl 53 by the time I reach Opelucid City's gym. It currently knows Icicle Crash, Blizzard, Brine, and Slash. Contemplating what to teach it next, since the last two moves it learns by level-up are Thrash and Sheer Cold. Sheer Cold is powerful, an instant faint, but it's only 30% accurate. I have Surf on my Samurott, but I'm also wondering what else to teach it, since all the moves my Samurott knows are water-type moves >>;;; Surf, Razor Shell, Water Gun, and Water Pulse. Any thoughts on what else it should learn? I am holding out for Hydro Pump to replace Water Gun, since I love that move.

I personally use Surf, Ice Beam, Superpower and Return on my Samurott. Beartic could learn Blizzard, Hail (Blizzard goes up to unmissable accuracy during Hail, and it activates Snow Cloak), Surf and Focus Blast.

I know either way, I'd have two types but these are the 2 I want t oadd for definite. Can anyone tell me which one would be better please?

It depends on the movesets of the rest of your team... If you don't have ground/rock moves, pick Corsola. If you don't have dragon moves, keep Growlithe. Growlithe is the cooler one of them, but Corsola is really a interesting Pokemon. If you don't care about 2 recoil moves, give
Growlithe Wild Charge for coverage and keep it in your team. Also, a better idea for his set is:
-Wild Charge
-Return/Dig
-Outrage
-Flamethrower

On this way Growlithe doesn't have two recoil moves and can it stand longer in battle. But Flare Blitz is stronger. So Growlithe is definitely the strongest one of those 2, but a lot of people use it, so if you wanna be original choose Corsola.

Anyway, I'm planning in Black2 to rotate as much as possible Pokemon, something like 10-15 Pokés. How much do you guys recommend? I don't mind some grinding because it then takes longer to beat the game, which sounds good to me.

I'm in the process of getting all my Pokemon to level 41 for the fight with Skyla, but how are they looking for the fight in general? Zoroark and Serperior (possibly Sigilyph too) could definitely use some diversity as far as attack type is concerned. Or rather most of them could, except for Vibrava. He's looking pretty good, imo. I haven't had much problem fighting anyone so far but any advice would be appreciated.

I Love my team but as of now I am trying to get a Shiny Terrakion...Can't Move on til' I get him... But I will soon be replacing Probably Either Zangoose or Camerupt for Kyurem.
